DevUtility Hub Source Code – 117 Tools in Next.js 15

117 utilities, 530 auto-generated SEO pages, and an explicit monetization plan (2,561 ad slots) make this a pragmatic productized repo for someone who wants fast ROI or a learning-grade production app. The author clearly prioritized SEO and privacy (several client-only tools like JWT decoders), and shipping it as a saleable bundle is honest — but the concept itself is crowded, so its appeal is mostly to people who want turnkey code or examples, not novelty.

Free, private developer tools in the browser

Everything important runs in the browser: JSON formatters, a JWT debugger explicitly marked 100% client-side, and a new Database Design Studio that turns SQL/Prisma schemas into draggable ER diagrams you can export as PNG. The product’s hook is convenience plus privacy — a single place to grab many small tools without sending snippets to a server. It’s useful and nicely designed, but the core idea is a well-curated bundle rather than a novel technical breakthrough.
